I pretty much buy on-line so flip through isn't a great option.  But I think I'll just hold off and do that at a mall eventually.I understand that.  And I certainly don't hold you responsible.  I'm confident that if you had more control then this product would be on a level with Advanced Gamemasters Guide and we would not be having this conversation.  (And if you think I'm kissing up now, you need to go back and read this thread again.  If I like it I say so and if I don't I say so.  But I only tell the truth.)As much as it may seem to the contrary, I REALLY don't expect anything to be even 0.001% crafted to my personal expectations.On this specific matter, I really think, in my very possibly way off opinion, that two different product types have been diluted and two different titles could have been produced, each of which would be superior to the actual product.  But even if God comes down and says I'm right about that, I don't believe my opinion should carry any weight with WotC.  I'm just one of the nobodies on a web site.But it is an open forum and I do have an opinion on the matter.I REALLY don't have a "you are not serving me personally" attitude on this.  Truly, not even a little bit.  I can't stress enough how much that just isn't there.  If your product doesn't serve me, then I won't buy it.  But there is no heat in that.I just have questions that, to me, make sense.</blockquote>
